Date and Time: Saturday 20th February (12.30)
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium
Referee: Darren Bond
Television: Sky Sports 1
Cardiff take on high-flyers Brighton and Hove Albion at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday in the Championship’s early kick-off. The Bluebirds will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing away draw against struggling Charlton last week while Brighton will be looking t build on a solid mid-week result against table toppers Hull City.
Russell Slade’s men continued to stumble in their play-off chase last week, adding to an unsatisfying home draw with MK Dons with a goalless away draw against then bottom Charlton Athletic. Cardiff remain five points outside the play-offs in ninth position.
On the flip-side, Brighton continue their good form and look a sure bet for the Sky Bet Championship play-offs come May and are even planning an assault on the top two. The Seagulls are currently third in the second tier, just one point behind Middlesbrough in second and three points behind table toppers Hull City.
Chris Hughton’s men come up against Hull City at the KC Stadium on Tuesday and the fixture finished goalless despite the home side having twelve efforts to Brighton’s five and somehow not grabbing the victory, however, Brighton had a goal disallowed in the final stages and could have taken all three points.
Cardiff face a tricky two fixtures with Brighton at home followed by Middlesbrough away on Tuesday. A loss on Saturday could leave Cardiff with a big task on Tuesday and the play-offs could really begin to slip away for the South Wales club.
When the two teams clashed earlier on in the season, Brighton were unbeaten in the opening nine games and had to come from behind after an early Joe Mason goal put the visitors ahead at the AMEX. Dale Stephens grabbed the all-important equalizer and the two teams shared the spoils, despite Cardiff winger Sammy Ameobi having a golden chance late-on. Five of the last six meetings between the two clubs have finished level.

Very tough game. They out-played us when we went there. But remember we drew with them away, so no reason we can't beat them at home
